Holbein, engraved by the master of stipple engraving in the chalk and stipple manner

809 


Play-Bill of Covent Garden Theatre for March 12, 1821. 
Macready, Mrs. Bunn, Mr. Yates, and others in Richard III. 

An interesting Shakespearean item. A prefatory statement on the bill shows the 
purport of this performance. ‘‘ Of the tragedy hitherto acted under the title of Rich- 
ard III. more than half is the exclusive composition of Cibber. The present is an 
attempt to restore—the original character and Language of Shakespeare.” This— 
the first performance of the original version since the days of Shakespeare—was not a 
great success. Mrs. Bunn was a great success, but the Bishop of Ely made a ludi- 
crous exit in one act, which damped the ardor of the players. It was once more per- 
formed and then dropped.
